On the 1881 census in Dwelling Llansoar, at census place, Llandegreth, Monmouthshire.
Elizabeth Greenman aged 26, born Thornbury Glou, unm, servant, cook was in the household of John James, JP for Monmouth County. I have located her marriage in 1896 which took place in Bedwellty district, Monmouthshire. Can someone please help locate her on the 1891 census?
Thanks in advance

Many thanks for the details much appreciated; I take the last entry to be the 1881 by her age. Any chance you could transcribe the 1891 household?
Best regards, Roy

Hi again Roy, the last census I posted, which you did not ask for, is the 1861?, so which/what census for the family do you want?

Hi Keyboard
I must apologise for not replying to your last message but for whatever reason I am finding a number of queries which haven't shown up to say I have a message; that's all I seem to be doing today is sending messages to apologise for tardy replies.
Also I have been unwell and not up to scratch for the past few weeks and only now am I checking out rootschat. I'm not sure where I am at present with my research of Elizabeth Greenman so at this stage please accept my apologises and thanks for helping out.

Elizabeth Greenman is my direct line ancestor and I am trying to find out about Llansoar, Llandegreth MONMOUTHSHIRE, where she was in the 1881 census as a cook, aged 26. I am also interested in any other information about her around 1881/2. I have her tree so am only looking for the Llandgreth connection.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat, what exactly is it you wish to know about Elizabeth as she was still single aged 35 occ General Servant b?Thornbury, Gloucestershire with a Furlow family at 20, George Street, Pontypool, Monmouthshire in 1891?
Census ref RG12/4361/98/2

As I have only discovered Elizabeth Greenman in the past month I just want to know everything about her! For personal reasons I am interested in where Llandegreth is, it's relation to the Rhonnda Valley, as everything that I thought was true about my grandparents seems to be ashes.
-
I know where she was in 1891 and who she married. I am aware of all that part of her history. I am really seeking descendants of Elizabeth. I have contact with some of her sister's lineage but am interested in Elizabeth's line.
-
OK as Elizabeth was approx 41 when she married 1896, any children, as have not followed this lady forwards!
EDIT Think the spelling should be LLANDEGVETH Monmouthshire in 1881, as I was born in Tonypandy/Pontypridd area in the Rhondda a long time ago but now in London, suggest possibly 30 miles away?

:-[ Thanks for the spelling correction. I find the Welsh names of places particularly interesting :) to spell.
I am at the moment interested in geographical places. Some years ago, in a quest to find out about my grandfather's family, I travelled to the UK and did a trip through Gloucestershire and the Rhonnda Valley but didn't know what I was looking for.
-
As I see it at present from the GRO Index if I am correct Elizabeth if she married David Gwynne, had one daughter ( still checking) Emma b June qtr 1896 Merthyr Tydfil 11a 678 mmn Greenham
Should have travelled to Pontypool/Newport if you wanted to find Llandegveth in Monmouthshire?!
Think Emma is shown on FreeBMD as Emma GWYN who married an Albert I ( possibly Idris) Davies Dec qtr 1916 Merthyr Tydfil 11a 1377
Their are male Davies births in Merthyr Tydfil mmn Gwynne 1918/1925/1929

Building an itinerary as we speak for my next trip. I was running around the UK like a madperson looking for what I did not know. This next trip will be measured, well thought out and with purpose now that I have better information. Only problem is working out how one pronounces let alone spells some of these places
I know the Emma Gwynne/Gwynn/Davies part but thank you. I am just interested in anyone else that is chasing information on someone that I am too. ;D
